The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Is Being Ugly Really a Crime?

In the afternoon class, Ji You was undecided about which one to attend when she suddenly received another message from Teacher Mu Jianling: [Come to class quickly, otherwise it will be treated as truancy.]

Fine.

Stop agonizing, just continue to get beaten up in the Combat Department.

Ji You arrived relatively early, and the training room had only a handful of people she didn’t recognize. She casually picked a seat and had barely sat down for long when someone patted her on the back. Chu Jiaojiao asked cheerfully, ”Ji You, you’re here too.”

Ji You turned her head.

The smile on Chu Jiaojiao’s face instantly froze.

With a smile on her lips, Ji You said, ”Hello, Chu Jiaojiao.”

Chu Jiaojiao covered her face and whimpered, ”Number 4444, Ji You, I seriously, earnestly, and solemnly remind you, this kind of behavior is going to kill those of us who are face-judgmental.”

”Ah ah ah...”

”The devil...”

”It’s taking my life...”

”I can’t accept this at all! Ah ah ah...”

”No way! I need to cool down, I need at least -4444 degrees to cool down.”

Saying this, she ran off weepingly.

Yue Qiguang stared at Ji You’s ugly face with a slightly complicated expression, ”Idiot! You’re the only one so far who has used your strength to make the violent maniac Chu Jiaojiao cry; you’re awesome! You’re really awesome!” He gave a thumbs up and swaggered off, shaking his head.

Ji You: ”...”

Yue Qiyuan said gloomily, ”You’re really ugly, do me a favor and keep a distance of 2 meters, no! At least 5 meters from me, thank you.”

Ji You: ”...”

As soon as Shen Changqing saw the scene here, he simply didn’t come over and found a corner to sit down in.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You touched her face and twitched the corner of her mouth:

Shallow.

All a bunch of shallow people who only judge by appearances.

Hmph~

Daddy doesn’t even want to play with you guys anymore.

Yingyingying~

At this moment, Teacher Mu Jianling walked into the training room and announced the start of the class. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Ji You who was sitting in the front and her mouth twitched slightly, teasingly, ”Well—today’s style is not bad, keep it up.”

Ji You: ”...”

The class continued mainly with explanations and drills.

After the lesson, Teacher Mu Jianling allowed the students to pair up and spar freely. When she noticed number 4444, Ji You, looking at her full of expectation, Mu Jianling said, ”Number 4444, come here!”

Ji You was overjoyed.

Then, she heard Teacher Mu Jianling say, ”Continue sparring with the Little Robot.”

”...” Ji You stiffened and said, ”Teacher, can I find a classmate to spar with?”

Teacher Mu Jianling said, ”Sure.”

——As long as you can find one.

Of course, she did not say the last sentence out loud.

Ji You first asked the honest Shen Changqing, who directly shook his head and refused: ”It’s not that I don’t want to spar with you, Ji You, but I’m afraid I might hit too hard and kill you.”

Ji You: ”...”

She turned her head and asked Yue Qiguang.

Yue Qiguang: ”Daddy doesn’t play with pig faces.”

Before Ji You could say anything, Yue Qiyuan stepped back and shook his head, ”Being ugly is the best reason for me to reject you.”

As for Chu Jiaojiao?

She is still immersed in her sorrow, untouched by the affairs of the world.

Fine.

Might as well continue thrashing the Little Robot.

A vicious light flashed in Ji You’s eyes as she glared menacingly at the Little Robot from yesterday.

The detection lights of the Little Robot flashed suddenly, and then it launched an attack on Ji You.

Ji You: ”...you’re breaking the rules, we haven’t even started yet.”

The Little Robot had no intelligence and only knew to follow commands.

Ji You defended while retreating: ”Come any closer! I’ll report you for mistreating humans!”

The Little Robot’s attack frequency suddenly increased, catching Ji You off guard, and she was smacked hard on the butt. She turned her head to look at the two large mechanical pupils of the Little Robot, suspecting it did that on purpose.

Ji You rolled on the ground, evading another attack.

Micro-control?

Micro-control?

What exactly is spiritual power micro-control?

”Ouch!”

Getting distracted for just a moment had left her open to attack.

Ji You howled, holding her injured butt, and once again fled as if her life depended on it.

The Little Robot was relentless in pursuit.

Ji You raised her elbow to block a potentially fatal hit, and instead of running away, she began to think about counterattacking. Concentrating her spiritual power, she yelled, ”Stop right there.”

The signal detection eyes of the Little Robot flickered off for an instant.

Ji You was overjoyed and moved to dismantle its energy box.

But the Little Robot quickly returned to normal and smacked Ji You’s pig-faced cheek with its hand.

Ji You grimaced in pain and hopped away to escape.

Just now, when she disrupted the Little Robot, her spiritual power was greatly depleted, but not nearly as much as yesterday. Clearly, she had enough left for one more disruption.

Continuing on.

Ji You threw caution to the wind and shouted, ”You damn Little Robot, halt immediately!”

The robot paused for a moment.

It was true!

Her spiritual power threshold of 120 could indeed disrupt it a second time. It seemed that in the endless cycle of running and counterattacking, she had adapted to the use of her spiritual power and become more proficient. Furthermore, she had gained some understanding of the Little Robot’s attack patterns, thus improving her efficiency.

Except—

Every time she had to yell out loud like that, it was just so embarrassing.

But—

Such embarrassment was still within a bearable range.

Moving forward.

Everyone heard Ji You shouting ah ah ah.

”Shameless thief, don’t think you can sneak attack on me!”

”Eat my punch!”

”Eat my kick!”

”Take this! Foshan Shadowless Kick!”

”Yong Chun Boxing!”

”Tai Chi Boxing!”

”Thunderbolt Leg!”

”...”

Ji You was retreating and fighting at the same time, her slogans ringing out loud and clear, yet she got beaten even worse by the Little Robot, howling like a banshee.

But she felt it was better to lose in combat than in spirit, and so she had to shout her slogans with full force! Hence, she let loose and howled—though the peculiar glances around her multiplied, especially from Teacher Mu Jianling, who looked at her as if she was a strange, unidentified species.

Ji You chuckled awkwardly and explained, ”Teacher Mu shouldn’t find it strange; this is my way of unlocking spiritual power.”

Mu Jianling glanced at her, ”So are you going to howl every time before you attack on the battlefield?”

Ji You: ”...”

Mu Jianling said, ”Shut up and train silently. If I hear you making a ruckus all over the place again, I will throw you onto the tallest tower of the school to shout for an entire day and night!”

Ji You: ”...”

So cruel.

In fact, using spiritual power doesn’t require making a sound at all, but Ji You found that shouting helped her concentrate her spiritual power, so yelling was a form of power gathering for her.

But—

If the teacher forbade her from shouting out loud, how should she use her spiritual power?

Ji You had a sudden flash of insight and remembered that when she was crafting Soul Devices, she could occasionally see her own Spiritual Silk. But why couldn’t she see them during the battle with the Little Robot?

Was it because they wouldn’t show up at all?

Or was it because she didn’t know how to use them?

To verify her conjecture, Ji You no longer simply ran away, but instead took the initiative to confront it. Seeing this, the Little Robot launched a fierce attack. Ji You let its attacks land on her face, shoulders, butt... Clenching her teeth tightly, she even closed her eyes, feeling everything intently.

Suddenly—
